[SLE] Error transfering data to RAMDISK during 6.4 install
by asuka＠redconnect.net 24 May '00

24 May '00

I posted this question before but I was quite vague with what I said so I'll give it another shot. After successfully booting off of the floppy install diskette I am brought to the "Have a lot of fun..." screen. The disk is read correctly and it proceeds to boot without incident. When I get to the main menu I proceed to the install/upgrade menu, pick my install medium (CD-ROM) and hit enter. The CD is read from and it says "transferring data to ramdisk" After it finishes nothing seems to happen and my screen stays the same. I move the arrow keys around and find out that I'm back at the menu and nothing has launched. The windows all overlap each other and when I go back through the menus they do not re-draw... which makes navigating through them a bit difficult. Aside from that my real problem is that it never actually launches the install. I ALT+arrow keyed over to the other screen and took down the following information while the data was being loaded to the ramdisk. --begin-- Loading image << /var/adm/mount/suse/images/root >> Loading of rootimage returns 0 Mounting of inst-sys returns -1 --end-- Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this?

[SLE] RealPlayer for Linux
by abrahams＠valinet.com 24 May '00

24 May '00

I've seen some references here to RealPlayer 7.0 for Linux. Where can I find it? Is that the best version extant? I've tried to find it on the Real.com website, but try as I might, I can't find any references to Linux at all there.

[SLE] dosemu
by mcmxc＠freemail.gr 24 May '00

24 May '00

Hi people After changing root partition from ext2 to reiserfs i noticed that dosemu does not work anymore I get an error message that says that there is no OS I tried reinstalling dosemu from HD partition and floppy but I keep getting the same message. Also apps that worked with wine on 6.1 doesn't work on 6.4 with reiserfs (I didn't try them when I was using 6.4 + ext2) Does anyone else have this problem or I made something stupid? And something last: Any idea about how to disable scsi bios on AHA 2930U?

[SLE] Monitor adjustments vs. xvidtune
by abrahams＠valinet.com 24 May '00

24 May '00

Sometimes it's possible to adjust the size and other properties of the X screen either by using xvidtune or by using the controls on the monitor itself. (Same goes for Sax, I assume, though I don't use it myself.) Does anyone have advice on how to determine which method is better for a particular adjustment, or even how to use the two methods in combination for the best results?
